I think my remark was aimed at the subject of Autistic Children with
Celiac Disease. There has been a lot of discussion of "connection". I
just wondered how many of the parents of these children, also had the
"connection" of being Celiac.  I imagine it would be difficult to get
7-8 hrs. sleep and an afternoon nap with an autistic child. I was not
aiming any type of condemnation. I have Celiac Disease and Dermatitis
Herpetiformis. I wonder about "connectivity". So far, the only
hereditary trait that I get credited with  passing along is(are) "big
feet". Beauty and brains are credited to other sides of the family. i
have a big question about a couple of my grandchildren and the
possibility of their being Celiac. I'm sure you and you daughter do
well.AMS
